General Discussion / 4-Speed Shifter Rod Identification Needed
« on: January 30, 2023, 09:14:28 PM »
I have a 16 1/2" long shifter rod (0.47" diameter) without a 4-digit number that I have been researching without any luck. It appears to be a 3-4 shifter rod and might be for a 1967 or 1968 Camaro, Nova, or Chevelle. As shown in my drawing it has 3 angle points with angles of approximately 165, 168, and 169 degrees.
It might or might not be GM 3895255, 3930053, 3899024, 3930073, 3913714, 3930065, or maybe some other GM part number. It seems the 4-digit stampings started with the 1969 models. I bought the shifter rod at a swap meet decades ago with the 3895244 swivel and 2 3841497 nuts.

Originality / Original 1967-1969 Camaro lug wrench question
« on: October 24, 2022, 10:58:57 PM »
Attached is a photo of a lug wrench from a 1969 Nova as well as 2 photos of my other identical lug wrenches which are all 99% identical to a pair of NOS 3909176 lug wrenches that I once owned. All 3 lug wrenches have the letter "O" on the lug head.  GM # 3909176 is listed in my 1967, 1968, and 1969 Chevrolet Parts Catalogs in Gr. 8.821 as the part number for the lug wrench for All 1967-1969 models. I believe that the 3909176 lug wrench was issued on the assembly line for 1967-1969 models as well as sold over the counter. These lug wrenches have a unique curves chisel end as shown in photo #3. The 1967-1969 Camaro Assembly Manuals do not list a part number for the lug wrench but rather a part number for the WRENCH CHART which is 3899546 (UPC 10 Sheet A2).
As per Chevrolet Parts History (for service parts) GM # 3909176 was replaced by GM # 3987070 in Dec. 1971.
Can anyone who owns a 1967-1969 Camaro with the original lug wrench confirm this?

Originality / LH Upper Spark Plug Wire SUPPORT Comparison - 1969 & 1970
« on: October 24, 2022, 10:44:43 PM »
Attached in the 3 photos are 3 LH Upper Spark Plug Wire Supports. According to my research as well as using my 1969 and 1970 Chevrolet Parts Catalogs (Oct. 1968 & Jan. 1970) I have determined the following:
1.  The support on the left is GM # 3932485 listed for 69 ALL (302, 307,350).  This support has 3 different angle bends with a 0.80" diameter hole and I believe that this support was only used on the 1969 Z28.
2.  The support in the middle is GM # 3932487 and is also listed as 69 ALL (302, 307. 350). This support has only one angle bend with a 0.80" diameter hole and I believe that it was not used on the 1969 Z28.
3.  The support of the right is GM # 3973366 and is listed as 70* ALL (8 cyl.)(exc. 454) . This support has only one angle bend with a 0.92" X 0.78" oval hole. The asterisk (*) following the year indicates a new 1970 model part.  This support is also used on 1971-1973 models as listed in my 1971, 1972, and 1973 Chevrolet parts catalog.

According to GM Parts History (for service parts sold over the counter) GM # 3932487 was replaced by GM # 3973366 in June 1974. This makes sense as the two parts are almost identical except for the shape of the hole.

I would appreciate any comments to either confirm my research or not.
